Exactly - it's an interesting gap in his thinking, and he doesn't really address it. It's okay to say "I consider the surgery too risky, so I'm not going to pursue it" but he didn't. He just did this weird narrative 180 and said "now I'm going to pursue the path I've just spent 2000 words describing as almost futile".

Everybody stumbles. It's what you do after that makes the difference. You threw out the leftovers - SCORE!

Oh no! I'm one of the lucky ones. VERY glad to be at work and being paid. Hope it ends soon and you get paid retroactively!

Liquids go right through you. Once you are able to eat solid food like chicken take it slow or you will be hurting!

And you just get better and better as the days pass. And I do enjoy your postings, they usually have answered my questions before I even thought to ask them.

Thank you!

Canberra!

I had the same issue around the same time and ended up calling the office. It turned out to be what Frustr8 said- normal! It's easy to be concerned about those pains when you're otherwise starting to feel normal, but you have to remember that your body has really been put through the ringer and will continue healing for several weeks! The office told me to use heat, ice, or a combo- whatever felt best for me. I also continued on with my Tylenol early in the morning (stiff from sleeping) and later at night (aching from use during the day).

Haven't had that issue but as I'm an Aussie thought I would say hi. Where are you relocating to?

Thank you for sharing this. So much of the article resonated with me except his dismissal of WLS as giving up.
